She’s probably already compromised, or her staff are being handled by state department/cia, but maybe if enough people call she’ll at least be a bit more embarrassed. Worth a shot, because she’s not going away and her doing this shit is damaging.

    Probably lmao. The thing is, she does have a notable Tibetan constituency in her district, but with the timing it sure seems like the cia or state department slipped a speech to her staff and trotted her out to change the subject since the Xinjiang narrative is getting mainstream critique

    Edit: folks when I say cia I mean their ngo fronts. Give me a break

        Could be state department. When I say CIA I mean one of their NGO fronts. More likely the state department. If you don’t think that these entities are in close contact with congressional staff (who writes these speeches) as part of their routine day to day activities I don’t know what to tell you. A lobbyist paid for by Goldman Sachs may not get an audience in AOCs office. A lobbyist (or let’s call them an advocate/activist) representing USAID or similar certainly would (AOC interned for USAID).

        The only thing baseless, to be fair, is that this is timed to move the goalposts a bit from xinjiang to reiterate that China BAD! But here’s some talking points from someone other than Adrian Zenz

          Why do you say that? If a USAID or NED “activist” for Tibetan rights got a meeting with her she’d turn it down?

            You think this means she's involved in the CIA? This is honestly embarrassing.
